world, stated to an Associated Press

The Holocaust.

PARIS, May 26.-The bodies of the
ballet dancers who lost their lives by
the burning of the Opera Comique last
night are lying in heaps in the ruins OF
the theatre The fremen assert that
many bodies are lying in the upper
7qIIeries. The number of persons killed
greatly exceeds the previous estimates.
An excited crowd surrounds the ruins
which are guarded by military cor
don. a
Twenty bodies in terribly mutiIated
condition have been recovered from the
ruins. The remains are principally
those of ballet girls, choristers and ma
chinists.
Twenty more bodies were recovered
this afternoon from the ruins of the
Theatre Comique. The search continues.
The remains of three men and two
women were found in stage box, where
the victims had taken refuge from the
flames. It is ascertained that many
bodies lie buried in the upper galleries,
where escape was exceedingly difficult.
Government propose to close several
Paris theatres because of their de
fCiency in exits. Late this afternoon
the bodies of eighteen ladies, all in full
dress, were fund lying together at the
bottom of the staircase leading from
the second story. These ladies all had
escorts to the theatre but no remains of
men were found near where the women
we're burned to death. The walls of the
theatre began falling this evening and
search for the bodies had to be aban
dOned for the day. The library at
taChed to the theatre was entirely des-
troyed with all its contents, including
many valuable scores. Six thousand
costumes were burned in the wardrobe.
The work Of searching for the bodies
was resumed tonight. A number more
were exhumed. The official statement
says fifty bodies are already recovered.
Reveilleon, speaking in the Chamber
OF Deputies this afternoon, estimated
that at least 200 persons lost their lives
in the fire.
Among the audience at the Opera
Comique. last night, were General Bou-
hanger, General Saussier, General Thu
bauldion, ~. Goblet, and NJ. Bertheiot.
All escaped UGhurt. An artist named
PHILIPPE performed a prOdigious valor
in saving life. He mounted q ladder
three times and saved three danseuses
after they had been abandoned by the
fremen. In the Rue FaYart a sudden
the dense smoke when q woman
and two men were seen standing in an
angle of the cornice. The woman tried to
jump, but the men prevented her.
When all were finally rescued, the
woman was raving mad. A singer had
a miraculous escape from a dressing
room in an angle at the top of the build
ing. He says the wind kept the flames
of that part of the building, but river
of molten lead poured from the roof,
the course Of which he diverted with
board to prevent the weight carrying
down the floor. Officials are endeaVor-
ing to under-rate the loss of life. A
large number of bodies have been
found.

a somewhat alarming extent in Scotland
among cattle. To-day, Acting Secre-
taryiThomson issued a circular to the
custom officers prohibiting, until further
notice, the importation of neat foot
cattle from that country.

madam government has resulted in an
understanding that the Canadian regu-
lations in regard to the towing of YES
sells in Canadian waters and at Canadian
ports by American tugs shall be
amended so as to extend to American
tugs when in Canadian waters the
same rights and privileges as are

The Pacific Railways investigation

BosToN, May 26.-Begore the Pacific
investigating committee to-day, T..
Gordon Dexter, who has been a director
OF the Union Pacific twenty years,
testified. The evidence was corrobora-
ton Of Ames' version of the condition
OF the Union and Kansas Pacific roads
prior TO the consolidation. He was
satisfied that acquiring the Kansas
| Pacific was a very important and
good thing for the Union Pacific TO do
In his judgment it was to the advant-
tage of both roads. bat he was not sure
1t was to Gould, Judge Dillon inciden-
tally testified as to the certain suits
brought against the company. includ-
ing that in connection with the Ames-
Fisher contract.
After recess, the examination of Dex-
ter was resumed. When asked as to
his judgment on the result of the
policy pursued since 1875, by the Union
Pacific, and connection with the con-
Struction OF branch lines and invest
ments made by it in branches, Dexter
replied: Although we made here and
there mistake, there is no question
about the general policy being good. l
would advocate pursuance of the
same policy IN the future"
To his knowledge, no director or
officer of the road was interested in any
coal operation of the company for
private profit. The witness said Gould
ideas about the duties of a director
were sometimes peculiar. The only
thing the Union Pacific suffered under
was the uncertainty attending its rela-
tons with the government. He agreed,
with President Adams. that it would be
better for the road to pay gross sum
instead of making payment in net
earnings.
Ezra H. Baker, another director,
thought the action of Gould as Union
Pacific man at the time of the consoli-
dation very proper. He knew of no
intention to abandon the road to the |
government.

A Reception to Milford and Milady,

OTTAWA, Ont, May Ex-Governor
General and Lady Lansdowne arrived
at home from Toronto at $50 this
afternoon. They had received an en-
thusiastic welcome along the route, and
the demonstrations at Ottawa were the
grandest ever seen. The route was
along Queen, Wellington, Bank, Sparks
and Elgin Streets to Cartier Square.
The procession was headed by a Bicycle
Club, and an escort of 300 mounted citi-
Zens. Six brass bands were distributed
through the procession. A very large
number of vehicles and private citizens
followed. There was an enormous con-
course in the square, estimates vary
ing from $1,000 to 10000 persons An
address of welcome was made, and Lord
Lansdowne said in reply to the address:
. dow are We TO account for this dis
play of confidence and good will? | am
given to understand that the explana-
ton is this, that since we saw you
last, an invasion of Canada has
sion has not been successful.
l learn that the invasion was in some
respects remarkable. The invading
force was not strong. 1t made up, how
ever, in lnterpredity for its weakness in
numbers. 1t appears, moreover, to
have taken at the outset of its operation
a step, which | believe, is unusual with
a skilled strategist-it seized possession
Of the telegraph wires, through which
information most startling was
berally poured into the country.
1 understand the further object
OF the invaders was to overrun the
country, and above all things, to put to
fight certain high official OF the State,
of whom, unless l misunderstood what
has taken place, the people OF Ottawa
are not particularly anxious to get rid
just at present. Well, sir, there appears
to have been one weak point in the ar
rangements. We all know that one of
the most important departments
in the military service is that
which is known as the intelligence
department in which information bear
ing upon any operation which may be
in contemplation is collected. In this
caset the invaders were completely missed
by their intelligence department.
The Governor General closed with an
expression OF bis thanks. At the con-
clusion of his address, the children
sang: GOD Save the Queen" and
other choruses and vast crowd
cheered themselves hoarse. While the
vice-regal party was leaving, the chill
dren started up John Brown Body"
and after singing verse Or two d.
verted it to "Well Hang O'Brien On a
Sour Apple Tree" The Governor-Gen-
erals horses were embarrassed by
crowd of young men belonging chiefly
to the Foot Guards of the Forty-third
Rifles, and taken on trot to Rideau
Hall.
